The Hail Chairman Meow of The Orwell Society is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Chairman Meow with an iron fist, and renowned for its prohibition of alcohol, state-planned economy, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 4.087 billion Orwellians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Airstrip One. The average income tax rate is 98.0%.
The frighteningly efficient Orwellian economy, worth a remarkable 1,283 trillion credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 314,124 credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Even doll houses and dog kennels have to be able to withstand rigorous earthquake testing, in a desperate bid for cheap airfare Orwellians can be seen jogging in a rubber suit just before flying, the nation's new currency features full-length portraits of Chairman Meow in ermine and velvet garb, and the government is a proud sponsor of the National Gaming Association. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Orwell Society's national animal is the cat, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Meowism.
The Orwell Society is ranked 1,622nd in the world and 1st in The Wellspring for Lowest Crime Rates, with 152.68 law-abiding acts per hour.
